humps along SLEX??

[charmander]

di ko alam yung tawag sa humps na maliliit e hehehe. near bicutan exit sa SLEX, both sides, meron white na humps na maliliit kaya magvivibrate ka pag nadaanan mo. bat sila naglagay ng ganun? i know sa mga villages merong ganun para mag slowdown ka.. pero bakit sa expressway?

[bajumbo]

sa NLEX meron din nun... baka kc prone to accidents ung area kaya naglagay nun..

[Elroi]

meron din nyan sa NLEX, sa Balintawak (northbound) at Bocaue (southbound).. just reminding us to slow down before we hit the toll booths...

Those are "rumble strips". Yah, they're to remind you to slow down.

i think those small humps that cause the car to vibrate is to wake up those who drive at night, para hindi antukin..thats what i know..

I think they call those small humps Rumble Strips.. pls correct me if I am wrong...

This is my theory din. Kung alam mo namang nandun sila, I don't see why you'll slow down. Pero pag inaantok ka at nadaanan mo to... Wake up call for sure!

Question lang is can this do any damage to our cars, pag dinaanan natin na let's say running at 80-100 kph?

yep...rumble strips. para nga magising pag inaantok.... daming ganyan sa states..mostly on freeways.

I beleive this is more of a safety precautions to driving than hazard. this are common on all expressway in other country.

OT: kala ko ba naman humps talaga,.. asuuss!... Pagnadaanan mo, sabayan mo ng kanta: "may humps...may humps, may humps, may humps.." kaso mabilis na version yun! ...hehe korny!...

* the_noise: Very minimal lang naman yung dadaanan mo dun ehh, so lesser impact into your cars' suspension,.. the faster you go,.. the lesser the suspension will feel it,.. so tolerable lang yung, wag lang lubak syempre! Hypothetically, kung kilome-kilometro siguro ang layo nung strips, then everyday mong dinadaanan, tapos back and forth pa, pedeng medeteriorate then possible masira palage yung suspension mo. Simple as that!
